NEXT day being Friday, the Tenth of May^ we parted from Naz.amh, 
about five a Clock in the Mornin|t and a little after, found the Fountain 
where the BlefTed Virgin ufed to draw Water ; and there are fome Iteps to go 
down to it.Then on the left hand we faw the Tomb of Joms^to whom the Turks Tomb 
bear great refpeét, as they do to all the Prophets : We faw a print of his Foot ° 
on the Rock, the fame Foot being marked on four places of the Rock, at fome 
paces diftance from one another. We came next to the Well where the Water 
was drawn, which our Lord turned into Wine , at the Marriage of Cana. 
In the Sacriftie of the Church of the Eleven Thoufand Virgins at Cologne, I 
faw oneof the Pots wherein our Saviour wrought that Miracle, changing the 
Water that was it, into fo good Wine, that the Guefts who had not feen 
the Miracle wrought, complained to the Mafter of the Feafl, that he brought 
forth the good Wine laft ; feeing it v/as the cuftom to give the good Wine 
firft, and the bad laft : then we went into the Houfe where our Lord wrought ' 
this Miracle. St. Helen built there a Church, with a little Convent where 
fome Monks lived, it is ftill ftanding, but the Moors have changed it into a 
Molque; however we entred into it. Having feen that place, we Travelled a 
pretty while in the Plain where the Apoftles pluck'd the Ears of Corn, and 
lubbed them in their hands on the Sabbath- Day, then from a little height we 
difcovered the Sea of Galilee, from whence we alfo faw Bethulia, where Judith Tiie Sea of 
killed Holoferncs. We faw alfo from that place, pretty near the faid Sea, ^^f^^^^* 
the top of Mount Lihams, all white with Snow ; and about Ten in the morn- 
ing we came to the Mount of Beatitudes, fo called, becaule it is the place The Mount 
where our Saviour made to his Apollles the Sermon of Beatitudes ; we went up of Beatitudes, 
to it, and after we had heard the Gofpel on that fubjed read by one of our 
Monks, we came down again and continued our Journey, and half an Hour 
after, we came to the place where our Lord fed Five thouiand men, with two J^^^^^^^^ 
Filhes and five Loaves, and twelve Baskets full of Fragments remained. Ha- nn » 
1 ^ ^ , , -1 1 ^ , . , wnic/i our 
vmg the Gofpel read to us, we eat m that place upon a Stone, upon which Lord bleiTed 
( they fay ) he blefled the faid Fifhes and Loaves ; from thence we went to the the two fifhes 
Town of Tiberias, which is upon the fide of the Sea of Tiberias, having been j'"'' 
reftored by Herod, and named Tiberias from the name of the Emperour ^^^^^^^ 
Tiberius. We got there about Noon -, its Ruines and old Demoliflied Walls, 
demonftrate it to have been a very large place. The Walls of it having been 
ruined, ajewifh Widow afterwards built new ones in form of a Fort, with its 
Courtines, and Jews lived there, until about fifteen Years ago, that the Ty- 
rannie of the Turks made them abandon it. Among the ruines of the Town, 
and even within the Precindsof it, a great many Palm-Trees grow ; within 
this laft Precind, there is a Caftle upon the Sea-fide, which feems to have been 
a ftrong place. A hundred paces from thence, within the laid Precind, we 
faw a Church, five and twenty paces in length, and fifteen broad, dedicated 
to St. Peter, which is ftill entire. They fay, that St. Helen caufed it to be 
built
